EXACTLY!

Oh I’ve got a lot to say on this topic. But yes. The medical / wellness / beauty industry is extremely patriarchal. Taking immediate action to FIX whatever ails you - very yang. Surrendering into what is and feeling it deeply, as a source of truth, learning, growth - very yin. Also very unprofitable.

I’ve found several resources from women who’ve learned a lot about how to work WITH the body. And their shares are super powerful.

Lately I’ve been working with Dr. Mindy Pelz’s book Fast Like a Girl. It’s a treasure trove of information, without any sales pitch beyond learn to listen to your own body and believe in yourself.

Dr. Catherine Shanahan, who wrote Deep Nutrition is another.

But all they sell is empowering information! Info that creates results, but with a very much partnership based approach.

Thanks for appreciating my comment :) you might enjoy some of my own essays if you are looking for some reads. 😁
